Get ready to strip — your skin, that is. These scrubs, brushes, and peels will leave you feeling fresh-faced and smooth.

Think of your skin like an overachiever at school. It's constantly generating new cells to help protect your body from the outside world, which means the average adult can shed as many as 50,000 dead skin cells every minute. Some of those cells may have a little trouble letting go; however, which is why you should exfoliate one or two times a week. Ditching dead skin cells will help prevent clogged pores, which can lead to breakouts. In ultimate quest for softer, healthier, glowing visages, we asked REDBOOK staffers to test the latest exfoliators on the market. Bonus: All of the products we tested cost less than $50.

Testimonial: "It wasn't my first time using glycolic pads, but compared to the last time, I felt like the soothing extracts made my skin feel softer. I used as instructed (every other day) and saw immediate results! My ashen, seasonally dry skin was glowing the morning after I used the product for the first time. I'm delighted that it's reasonable price, too. I will definitely be working this into my regular regimen!"
